Abstract
The article discusses the growing market for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that facilitate bond laddering, a strategy that staggers bond maturities to provide a steady income and reduce interest rate risk. Vanguard plans to introduce a series of target-maturity corporate bond ETFs, set to launch in early 2026, which will compete with existing products from iShares, Invesco, and State Street. These ETFs will focus on investment-grade corporate bonds maturing between 2027 and 2036, with a low expense ratio of 0.08%. The article highlights the potential benefits of these funds for investors looking to save for future expenses or construct bond ladders. [Extracted from the article]
